I started using the inserts in late August, and already have noticed a difference. I had been using custom-made inserts but realized they were not completely working the way they should. These inserts fit so much more shoes than the others did, to which I am grateful. It has taken me a little while...

I have fallen arches, plantar fasciitis, arthritis in my knees - if you can imagine a pain with legs, I have it. I have worn prescription orthotics, tried every insert. I was at my wit's end and I saw your ad on Facebook...

In eighteen years  I’ve had two sets of expensive custom orthotics, which actually made my problems worse. Boxes of various brands of insoles with broken promises. Then, I discovered Protalus...

All I can say is I was extremely skeptical but I was out of options. I have been dealing with chronic plantar fasciitis for 12 years. 12 years!!! I have tried everything....exercises, losing weight, shockwave treatment, custom inserts from my foot doctor, high powered massager foot braces to sleep with, steroid shots and the list goes on...

I’m a nurse, I work between 10 and 14 hours a day. Sometimes longer, sometimes less. But I’m on my feet all day usually. Over the years my feet have hurt and ached and were totally tired at the end of the day. I’ve tried the Dr. Scholl’s and the inserts of other things and the shoes and nothing helped. Until I came across the M100’s.

I'm a retired RN who spent more than 50 years on her feet. After retirement, I developed plantar fasciitis in my right foot, leg pain, and knee pain to the point that I was unable to walk without a limp and a cane...

I'm an active physician, who lived in high heels my entire adult life. When menopause hit 2 years ago, I started a C25K program to battle early diabetes. I was doing great, until I developed both plantar fasciitis and achilles tendinitis and was barely able to walk without pain.

I was totally at my wits end with the pain in my foot and I thought Protalus would be my last option next to surgery. I injured my foot when I stepped on a toy and pierced the main nerve in my arch and Hyperextended my toes and the top of my foot. The jolt upon impact was nothing like I have ever felt. It was the most horrific electric shock that traveled all the way to my brain in a second. I was left with a foot that no longer felt anything but constant PAIN and felt like I was walking on shards of glass. My knees started aching, parts of my legs felt hot and on fire, and my right hip throbbed. I tried multiple kinds of pain cream, a cortisone shot, boots, arch supports, compression socks, etc... but it was only as a last resort that I tried Protalus in a desperate attempt to save my foot.

Yes, I have given these inserts a rating of 5. I had PF for over a year, but that is not why I now wear them. I have tried two other types of inserts one were Perfect Feet, and the other an insert purchased from my chiropractor ... The insert from my chiropractor ( I quit going) caused me hip pain and caused an off gait. The insert over rotated my left foot. I since have had ankle discomfort and low back pain. I visited a podiatrist who suggested " Custom made Orthotics. The cost would have...
